I own a single family home in Socal that my wife and i currently living in.

A duplex strategy is a low-risk entry, saving on living expenses.

If you live there and are currently renting, then there still is a pathway to house hack say a duplex and better your situation.  

As investors (buying a home to live in or to house a business we own is DIFFERENT), 90% of sellers will NOT (at least at the present time) accept an offer that makes sense for the investor.  

I live in Detroit but envision running the investment as a business, not a third job: Pay top dollar for the best PMC.

My lease requires renter's insurance which should cover loss of use if the unit becomes damaged/uninhabitable, but I don't think renters insurance covers costs of living expenses incurred during just an evacuation.

After living in the property for a full year, we have come to terms and accepted that this is not our ideal location.

MTR attracts a lot of traveling medical professionals and WFH individuals who need a quiet space during the day, which may not be compatible with families living in the attached LTR.

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.

Basically, she uses her good score and no eviction record to lure landlords and then have someone else lives at the place.I am in the process of contacting others and filing a police report.
